How does the soil of North Africa and southwest Asia become fertile?

The soil of North Africa and Southwest Asia, in general, is infertile. Much of it is either rocky or just too arid. The areas of fertility center around the major rivers of the Middle East, such as the Nile River or Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. These rivers dump particulates from the streambeds called silt along the riverbanks which are very fertile and help stimulate agriculture in those areas. Additionally, in some areas of the Levant, Iran, Anatolia, and northwest Africa, there are hills and mountains which capture water coming over the Middle East and allow for some grasses and trees to grow, but the soil is generally less productive than in other regions of the world.
